Chapter 511: Surprised, Unexpected, Like or Not?
Prince Huailiang's head was big at this time.
He didn't understand that his transfer of the tiger from the mountain should be perfect, but even though Nanmu Zehu deliberately revealed his whereabouts, and even almost blatantly dispatched troops, the prince of the Ming Kingdom never moved.
He neither expressed his warning, nor did he ask for help from the general named Mu Ying in the imperial palace.
With the help of Mu Ying and the ministers, Emperor Changqing has completely eliminated the spies in the imperial palace, and now Prince Huailiang has completely lost the eyeliner in the imperial palace, and he can't even grasp the whereabouts of the emperor. What if the emperor took the opportunity to escape?
He was now beginning to regret that he should have taken the risk of assassinating the emperor earlier, knowing that they would ask for the help of the Ming Dynasty......
But although Changqing is a down-and-out emperor, he is also an emperor after all. I'm just a prince, so I have to blatantly attack the imperial palace?
That will become the target of everyone's "enemy"!
While writing a letter to inform the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu of the Northern Dynasty, he tried to use his meagre wisdom to break the current situation. After reading many military books and war strategies from the Tang Kingdom, Huailiang suddenly blessed his heart: since the arrogant prince of the Ming Kingdom does not know the height of the sky, then as long as Nanmu Zehu, who is pretending to be a thief, can directly annihilate him!
Anyway, it's just a few thousand Ming troops, and it's not a hassle to kill them. As long as the Ming army died, Changqing lost its support.
The Mu Ying in the palace has become a rootless driftwood. After all, he is a native of the Ming Kingdom, can he still be attached to the emperor?
And that little boy is so arrogant that even the army of the Nanmu family around him is indifferent, either he underestimates the enemy to the extreme, or he doesn't understand the battle strategy at all. After Nanmu Zehu is a famous general, can he still solve such a child?
As for Da Ming's reaction...... Killing the prince of the Ming Dynasty is obviously a thief, what does it have to do with my Huailiang? According to Huailiang's understanding of the Celestial Empire, the emperors of the Celestial Empire are very face-loving, and as long as they are given a step down, they often do not make a big move.
Even if the Ming Dynasty really wanted revenge, Huailiang still had almost blind confidence in the force of the Japanese State. Even if the Ming Dynasty attacks the whole country, it will definitely be like the Great Yuan in the past, and it will sink into the sand......
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have received an order from His Royal Highness." Finally obtained the order letter from Prince Huailiang, and in the tent in the mountain forest, Nanmu Zehu picked up the military rations on the ground and gave the order to attack.
"We're going on the offensive tonight! You must fight bravely to let these Ming people know the bravery of our Yamato samurai! ”
"Hello!" The samurai answered in unison.
Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, the samurai and ashigaru of the Kusunoki family hurriedly began to bury the pot and make rice. According to Nanmu Zehu's orders, they were to attack the Ming camp after nightfall. After everyone finished eating the rice balls, they all began to recharge their energy and prepare to attack the Ming army.
Nanmu Zehu is more or less one of the few remaining in the Southern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom, and he can barely get his hands on the famous generals. Although I can't wait, I still remember to be cautious. He sent a few "ninjas" who accompanied the army to check the news of the Ming camp, and the information he got was still the same: the Ming people still didn't have much defense, and they didn't send out outposts, but they just guarded a fence made of horses and antlers, and even if the ninjas were wandering in their field of vision, they didn't make the slightest move.
It's just like looking at monkeys, pointing at them in twos and threes.
"Damn the people of the Ming Kingdom, they actually underestimate us like this!" Nanmu Zehu was angry and happy.
When you take the camp of the Ming army, let the prince of the Ming Kingdom apologize with the soil seat!
When nightfall, the army of more than 10,000 Nanmu families left the mountains and forests and began to assemble. Because most of the ashigaru people are night blind, this time the night attack, it is rare for the samurai to be at the forefront as the forward.
They removed their antlers and poured into the camp of the Ming army, but the camp of the Ming Dynasty was still as silent as death. Nanmu Zehu only fell asleep when the Ming army was in charge, and he didn't feel abnormal. He whispered to the ashigaru to kill the "earthen wall" (a temporary wall made of earth and stone) in the center of the camp, but suddenly heard the sound of a bang, and then countless wind-breaking sounds came from the front, and the rain of arrows that could not be seen in the dark night fell on the military formation of the Kusunoki family.
"There is an ambush! There is an ambush! "Damn! Ming people have precautions! "Ignition! Hurry up and light the torches! ”
The samurai shouted, and the battlefield began to burn out. Only then did they realize that the "earthen wall" in front of them was actually full of Ming troops, and under the instructions of Bangzisheng, they poured out bursts of arrows at the samurai and ashigaru.
"Don't be afraid! The number of Ming troops is small! "Nanmu Zehu rode on a horse and brandished a sword." Rush over, as long as you rush through the earthen wall, it is our victory! ”
They numbered twice as many as the Ming Dynasty, and soon the samurai managed to regroup. These elite samurai were not afraid of death, screaming and screaming, and led Ashigaru towards the Ming army's earthen wall.
When they rushed to the bottom of the earthen wall, they immediately began to brave the rain of arrows, and cut the earthen wall in front of them with the hilts of their swords and guns. But they soon discovered that these knives and guns smashed on this earthen wall, and they could only smash a shallow white spot. At the cost of dozens of people, I couldn't even dig a small hole!
"Lord! Ming ...... There is a problem with the earthen wall of the Ming Kingdom! "An old general risked his life to return to Nanmu Zehu's side." That's not a mound...... Well, that's a stone wall! ”
"What did you say?" An angry Nanmu Zehu grabbed the old man's neckline. "The Ming Kingdom has only been stationed here for a few days, how can it be possible to build a city wall made of stone!"
"This must have been a makeshift mound of stone and sand! Let the ashigaru smash against the gap filled with sand! I don't believe it, I can't smash a gap! ”
"Lord, there are no gaps! There are no gaps! "That old family is about to cry." The entire castle wall is made of a single piece of stone, and it is stronger than the Imperial Palace of Heiankyo! ”
"Fundamental...... I can't smash it at all! ”
"Yaga! No way! Nanmu Zehu left behind this old man who had lost his will to fight, and under the protection of his own guards, he personally rushed to the "earthen wall". It was only when he got under the earthen wall that he had to believe the old man's words. This "earthen wall" is extremely hard, there is really not the slightest gap, and it is completely carved out of a single piece of stone.
This is completely beyond Nanmu Zehu's cognition. This...... What kind of camp is this?
It's clearly a fortified city! A fortified city far beyond recognition!
Within ten days, Daming actually built a strong city!
Could it be that the prince of the Ming Dynasty was protected by Amaterasu!
"Surprised, surprised?"
Zhu Su was on the tower of the city, gloating at the enemy army of the Japanese State who were obviously in shock.
The siege of the fortress turned into a siege, and it was still like this, which was successfully built in only ten days, and it was like a fortified city rising from the ground that had never been seen before, and the blow to the Japanese army was almost devastating.
The Ming army came from afar, and in addition to the soldiers and horses, the ships were almost stuffed with cement and gunpowder firearms by Zhu Su. In addition to finding a way to control the Japanese foreign countries, the purpose of this expedition was to try the differences in tactics brought about by scientific and technological innovation. Da Ming wants to become the "ball captain", the weapons and equipment that form a generational gap, as well as the war strategy and tactics that span the ages, are all indispensable.
It is clear that the defensive effect of "concrete fortification" is outstanding.
"I have another job I want to experiment with besides cement." Zhu Su looked at the Japanese who saw that it was hopeless to dig the wall and began to prepare to attack by climbing.
"I hope you will like this gift too."
Zhu Su closed the folding fan and gave the next order.
In an instant, the twelve tiger squat cannons that had been placed on the city wall were aimed at the city, and as the artillerymen finished loading the shells, the flesh and blood of the group of Japanese people suddenly exploded like fireworks......
